I feel like sending Mitt Romney a few working titles for a book he could write after Nov. 7. Hmm...how about "So You Think You Can Be President"? Or, maybe "Things You Shouldn't Say When Running For Office."

I'm still flabbergasted by the whole "47 percent" thing. Talk about an idiot. This was certainly the talk of the entire country when it made news and not in a good way if you're Mitt Romney.

Umm, Mitt? We live in the electronic age now. How could you be so stupid, and arrogant at that, no less?

Romney already faces issues with not be relatable to a good percentage of the country, mainly because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But, last week's publicizing comments before a group of wealthy campaign donors and backers broke the camel's so-called back.

Pundits on both sides of the aisle can spin this any way they wanted and it still couldn't have done more damage than the clips entirety. It was awful and degrading and for the most part - sickening to me. Certainly it wasn't presidential.

I don't care if the tape was from an event in May of this year. To me, it wouldn't have mattered if it was from a family barbeque a decade ago. His comments were wrong!

Telling a group of well off people that the 47 percent of the country that don't pay taxes don't mean anything to him showcased just the jerk that he is. That 47 percent of people are good people. They consist of a number of people who might be disabled/retired veterans, retired persons who've paid into Social Security and Medicare for years, or the sickly and disabled.

I saw a good portion of this clip repeatedly on the news networks last week and over the weekend and it still pisses me off. Where does he get off saying something like that? And, what does it say about the kinds of people at this event? I'll tell you - it means this dork would say anything necessary to get what he wanted. In this case, more money! This particular event was a $50,000 a plate dinner with all the money going to Romney's campaign. Yuck!

If I were Ron Paul, I'd jump ship from my party. At least Paul had some class and some real connect with the American people.

I find it odd that Romney supporters don't really seem to think about his past either. Whether or not you are for gay marriage, know that the controversial legislation first passed in his native Massachusetts whereas now he recants his ideals on the topic. His so-called stance against ObamaCare cracks me up, too. The Affordable Health Care Act was based off the very same medical program that Romney instituted in Massachusetts, to which he wants to repeal now.

If none of that didn't bother you, then perhaps the gobbling up of businesses under Bane Capital, only to shut them down and ship the jobs oversees will. He's got a proven track record of outsourcing jobs. Yeah, just what the country needs....NOT!

I see this guy as a world class loser who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, only this time he got caught (on tape). America deserves better.

America is a melting pot of all different kinds of people - people that make us who we are. Rich, poor, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, gay, straight, male or female it does not matter. Above all stereotypes and classifications, we are all Americans first. A President should be someone who thinks of us all, not just the few who happen to have lots of money.
